Khamzat Chimaev has a feeling Nate Diaz won’t actually fight him at UFC 279 on September 10.<\/p>\n

Although Diaz and his team have claimed this is a fight they asked for and wanted<\/a>, Chimaev says the Stockton native won’t show up. He believes Diaz will make some excuse for pulling out of the fight but the Swede is having none of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still don\u2019t believe that guy\u2019s going to come and show up,\u201d Chimaev said on\u00a0The MMA Hour<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThat skinny boy. We will see what\u2019s happening. I\u2019m just waiting for the 10th of September \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter who. If he wants to fight [185 pounds], then we can do that… just show up. I can fight [at 185 or 205 pounds], it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Nate Diaz doesn’t end up pulling out as Khamzat Chimaev thinks, the Swede is very confident in his skill set.<\/p>\n

\"Khamzat<\/p>\n

He has already said UFC 279 will be Diaz’s funeral<\/a> in the UFC and according to Chimaev, the plan is to smash<\/a> Diaz and get the stoppage win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just go in and smash his face,\u201d Chimaev said. \u201cIf we do striking, I knock him out, and if we go down, I submit him or smash his face, make him tap. We\u2019ll see, whatever, for me it doesn\u2019t matter. I don\u2019t have some game plan and that s**t. I don\u2019t ask my coaches, I never talk about what I\u2019m going to do in the fight. I just train what my coach said in my training. When we spar, if he says, \u2018take him down,\u2019 I take him down, if he says, \u2018jab, move,\u2019 I do these things \u2013 I listen to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I go to the fight and I do exactly exactly the same I did in the sparring, and sometimes it\u2019s take him down, submit him,” Chimaev continued. “Then I understand I have to do it in the cage as well when I come to the fight. This is my game plan, but you don\u2019t see me, like, \u2018Oh, he does this, he does that, he jabs like this, and this s***.\u2019 I don\u2019t believe in game plan or this s***. You fight like you fight. One round, two rounds,\u201d Chimaev said of his prediction on when the fight will end. \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
